Not only did they change everyone's personality but they also took away from the main plot. They made everything just a joke and yes, Ghostbusters was originall funny but at the same time it had a real plot that scared people. Of course we were younger then but the plot wasn't filled with just lame jokes and people acting stupid. It's annoying to see that their best jokes are people simply just getting hit in the face or stumbling. They don't make the same jokes and it just wasn't the same. I know that it isn't easy to recreate the feeling that people had when watching the first ghostbusters but keeping that in mind, they didn't even get close and they should have left the original movie as it was and just left it alone.… Expand

Crap all over the place. A poor attemps of making a political? statement, do it, just not in a movie ruining a franchise.

Not good. Ghostbusters 2 wasn't the best, but at least it had the original cast, somewhat taking it seriously. (Ahem Bill Murray, I know people love you and I do to, as well as all of your movies, but this was abysmal)

So apparently "comedy" boils down to a black woman spouting racist, yet predictable quips, nut shots, and exposition delivered with all the elegance of a drunk hippo attempting ballet. This is bargain-bin junk. Avoid.

Ghostbusters

Kate McKinnon steals the show with her comic timing and along with the funniest cast, Ghostbusters is gripping and tight on screenplay too.

Wow, is this crappy or what? Downright the worst movie I have seen in a while. To add insult to the injury, managed to stumble upon an extended Blu-ray version which is 18 minutes longer than theatrical – whopping 134 minutes in all!
Yes,Wow, is this crappy or what? Downright the worst movie I have seen in a while. To add insult to the injury, managed to stumble upon an extended Blu-ray version which is 18 minutes longer than theatrical – whopping 134 minutes in all!
Yes, this is the all-girls-remake of the 1980's darling "horror comedy" franchise, this time starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and, er, the other ones. Most of the original cast return with "surprise" cameos too, excluding, of course, the late Harold Ramis.
This is just a sad **** of a movie where everybody tries and tries for two hours and more, but nothing worthwhile emerges.
The only good thing I can think about the movie is that at least they have tried. For a long time, they try to make us laugh with their witty bantering dialogue and good chemistry but none of it materialises and the result is dead on arrival.
Alongside "Anchorman 2" and "Zoolander 2", this must be one of the biggest failures of recent times, where they tried to bring back some cult classic and just fell on their asses.
"Ghostbusters" is so bereft of laughs or joy that it feels **** even by movies starring Melissa McCarthy's standards, who's still desperately trying to define and recreate this little magic she managed to create in her breakthrough role in 2011's "Bridesmaids".
The same goes to Paul Feig, of course, who has mostly directed McCarthy's movies, the first and only creatively successful one being "Bridesmaids", of course. He should go back to TV world or something.
Rotten Tomatoes' and Metacritic's reviews are far too kind this time, the most telling would be the latter's user score of 2.9 out of 10.
The only bits I at least semi-enjoyed in the movie were original ghostbusters' surprise cameo appearances, and maybe Chris Hemworth as the good-looking but stupid assistant to the girls. He's the closest thing this "entertainment" had to offer to make me smile.
The visual effects look cheap too, although this may be some kind of homage to original movies.… Expand

The movie tries too hard to be funny; it oversells every joke, and delivers as many jokes in a row as possible to get any to land. Like all of Kevin's scenes are a string of ten jokes, and one will be funny, but it is immediately overplayed by nine other groaner jokes. It is so hyper jokey, that nothing is allowed to marinate. I smiled a few times, but every time it turned into a mess of cut up jokes that would make me frown. Cringe humor and hyper-talking humor works in some movies and much of tv comedy, but it did not work in this movie. The moment you start to think this movie could get good, with a few cool looking ghosts, or when the intensity picks up, immediately they kill it with silliness; like they thought it would be funny to have Slimer and his girlfriend ghost, but the joke doesn't end and they totally force them into the plot. The characters of ghostbusters step out of situations just to make a
joke, and make you lose the immersion of the situation. Kate McKinnon's character Holzmann eating pringles part is not just annoying for the forced product placement, but for the complete lack of the character's immersion. She continues eating pringles as a ghost is projectile-attacking Kristen Wiig's character as if she were watching a baseball game. Yeah I know she is aloof, but no reaction to the actual jump scare. This happens the whole movie. The audience needs to be pulled in by the actors, but the characters would never stop talking for two seconds to allow the situation or their expressions to make us laugh. (Except I like Patti's reaction with the ghost on her back.) The gadgets like pk meters and portal devices all look like plastic Halloween toys, and i actually thought the movie would reveal that they were just toys, but no, they were supposed to be real science. Bill Murry's cameo is even super lame in this. I would have been so disappointed in this movie if I was not already expecting it to be bad. I hope they try again, maybe another reboot.… Expand

We have 8/10 media outlets shilling harder than a fake cripple at a tent revival. That's the only explanation I can come up with to explain how this film doesn't have an aggregate five, or- how low does this thing go?- negative ten? I don't know. This rolling crapsack is an affront to filmmaking. I've seen funnier school bus accidents. It's seriously the cinematic equivalent of having the o-ring forcefully removed from your **** with no anesthetic.

I saw it in a pretty packed theater, which probably would have accounted for 84% of the films total US revenue, and the crowd laughed exactly twice. Neither time at the movie. Except for me. When the protagonists were dancing for absolutely no reason after the garbage, inorganic, forced library scene, I started cackling like a madman. Everyone stared at me like I had checked the **** out, and I finished with "Aaaahhh.... This is **** I happened to deliver that end line right when the sound cut out, and the theater erupted into laughter. That's right, folks. I garnered more aggregate laughs in three words than this entire film. Comedic timing. The other laugh came as Chris Hemsworth busted his dance move and someone in the back row ripped a particularly deep and voluminous fart.

I mean, look at it. The characters are barely cardboard cutouts. We might as well have called them "the fat one", "the black one"... "pants"? The only actress who seems to have any actual talent is Leslie Jones, who unfortunately gets completely swept under by the garbage script. Paul Feig is a hack and whoever wrote this should feel a deep and eternal shame. The cameos were forced and awkward. A bunch of stupid, one-off devices were introduced for the sole reason of setting up an action scene that was the antithesis of everything charming about the original. Oh, and the end villain is defeated by a kick in the nuts. Seriously.

Sadly, the whole affair is vastly less entertaining than reading the unwarranted positive reviews of obvious corporate shills.

Don't see it. Don't rent it. Don't get it from Red Box. Put that money in an IRA or something. Hell, light those two dollars on fire and shove them down your pants. You'll have a better time than you will seeing this movie. Oh. To drive the point home, please direct your attention to some chud making dupe accounts and spamming positive reviews below.

This movie doesn't know whether it wants be a reboot or a sequel (which is, deplorably, the case with many of recent franchise reboots, however this Ghostbusters shows it as flagrantly as ever), result being it sucks as both. Absolutely no reason to make cameos appear as random individuals (other than Ramis' death, apparently) in a story which never ended badly. I mean, the 1989 movie ends with all four Ghostbusters being alive and well, and Barrett getting back together with Venkmann. Heck, they even have a one-year-old daughter back then. What was the point of introducing new, COMPLETELY UNRELATED characters if, for instance, Abby Yates could've indeed been this child 27 years later (I mean, the character's age does come close, doesn't it?). Instead, we're treated with silly cameos and subtle (not really) nods to the original. Not enough to be a reboot (the story's different anyway, and the way they come to be is totally ridiculous as compared to the original), not enough to be a sequel. Two birds with one stone... got neither.
My 5 out of 10 score goes for decent CGI effects, cool atmosphere and nice accompanying soundtrack. Wish it could've been more. Hopefully, we won't see a sequel to that no matter how fun it would be to bring Zuul back. Please don't.… Expand

2. The movie is BAD. I was expecting a really awesome movie because noone would be as stupid to make a so controversial movie and then make it a bad movie so you make it easy for everyone to bash you so hard, but yes it is, really amateur. It looks like made but a bunch of unprofessional people with not a hint of talent. Script, camarography, lighting, Special Effects, Direction, are all subpar to the point that the movie looks like those direct to tv movies.

3. The movie is highly insulting to men. The first one secondary character is depicted as a coward, the secod as effeminate ( that apparently the people behind this movie is a trait they consider shamefull i see), the third is depicted as a mentally retarded.

They even go as far as insulting the real ghostbusters through a sentence said after an appearance of bill murray.

I am not surprised this movie made millions of people extreme anti feminists.… Expand

That's because Paul Feig shows hereMet with a ton of controversy, disappointment at the box office, and to top it all off it just isn't a good movie. While not an absolute abomination, there's no doubt this doesn't live up to the classic. That's because Paul Feig shows here that he apparently doesn't know how to handle making a comedy without an R rating.

The movie fires off jokes like a comic machinegun. It's clear that Feig and crew are trying to fill every spare second with some kind of gag. Not exactly a bad thing given how bare bones the plot is. The problem? Their aim isn't that great.

Look back at Feig's previous works, particularly with Melissa McCarthy. The man knows vulgar, raunchy humor. That is both his and McCarthy's specialty. As a result they both feel out of place in a more family-friendly comedy. Feig's script is screaming for d*ck jokes and McCarthy is floundering onscreen not being able to deliver them. As a result, they both feel out of place here. You'd expect to see Kristen Wiig in something like this, but not McCarthy.

The movie isn't devoid of laughs though. Every now and then it will hit some clever dialog or an amusing gag that will incite some amusement. It's just that the majority of it's running time the humor is lackluster. Cringe-worthy at it's worst. The perfect example of this comes in the form of Kate McKinnon's performance. Meant to be the crazy, funny member of the team, McKinnon instead just comes off as obnoxious. A fault of the writing and not necessarily the actress.

The actual conflict these new Ghostbusters face doesn't fare much better. It's all just a bunch of ghostly nonsense brought about by one of the weakest villains cinema has seen in many, many years. The (not so) special-effects driven action scenes just kind of there.

It's a mediocre remake. Perhaps it's the misused talent or just bad inception altogether. Regardless of the reasoning, this is a movie that just falls short.

Look, I like the Girls of SNL + Melissa, but their offering is barely better than the pitiful SNL skits they're in each week. And it's just so girl-power messaged that it would make any guy watching puke, especially with how they utilized "Thor"'s Chris Hemsworth. And what kind of awkward irony was it to have Bill Murray as a debunker of ghostbusting? The big budget sfx are decent enough - in fact it could be argued they saved the film, but the actors' reactions aren't appropriate much of the time, there's a disconnect. Talking about disconnects, there was a HUGE editing whiff during the concert scene! Pahtiful. Also, in this day and age, wouldn't they use Go-Pro headsets to document their encounters, but headsets wouldn't make the girls look their "cutest" would it? The act of sliming had a "fun" dbl-meaning to it in the original, but here it's just used like a Nickelodeon awards show. Finally, it was some fun to see the other originals - Dan, Ernie, Sigourney, and "Slimer" - as cameos. But seriously, one and done, alright?… Expand

My fiancee and I got this movie from the library. We were watching it leading up to Halloween. We thought it would be kind of a fun way to be in the spirit. I knew there were very mixed reviews of the film so I went in with mixed expectationsMy fiancee and I got this movie from the library. We were watching it leading up to Halloween. We thought it would be kind of a fun way to be in the spirit. I knew there were very mixed reviews of the film so I went in with mixed expectations but an open mind. An hour into the film my fiancee suggested we turn the movie off and go get a drink instead. We finished the film two days later. She lamented that she would never get those two hours of her life back (the movie is much too long), and that the film was terrible. I completely agree with her.

There is talent in the film. I won't say there is a LOT of talent, but more than what this terrible script provided. The plot makes no sense even for a movie about ghosts. The antagonist has no actual motivation that makes any sense. The four leads seem incompetent in every way. Worst of all the film isn't funny. I meant at all. It was a slot to get through. On top of it they straight up troll the audience by having bits on anti-female themes (youtube comments and the main antagonist). The cameos by the original crew were forced and added nothing to the plot. Kate McKinnon as Holtzmann is just terrible. There group will just be walking, and there she is bopping around in the background, looking straight into the camera. She isn't funny, she is annoying. Reviews and articles praising Ghostbusters (and McKinnon in particular) must not have seen the film I (and most users) saw. Instead they are seeing a film filtered through social justice warrior lenses where the fact that the main characters are all women (and Holtzmann is gay according to the director) means more than the quality of the film. If the film spent more time, you know, working on a script and directing than fighting social media fires perhaps this wouldn't be the dumpster fire that it is.

Lets throw out a couple other tidbits. Leslie Jones's character seems like a racist stereotype. The only joke about Hemsworth (who is hilarious) is that he is hot but dumb. Would reviewers be ok if it was a super hot female who was a ditz? The double standards are astounding.… Expand

First of all I am not a fan of the original film, but I enjoyed watching them. So I anticipated this film for the updates to deliver what I'm looking for, including some good jokes, but I found it an average film. I am very interested to have the women's version of hit the films and vice versa, but there are not many films in this category. All I wanted was 'The Expendables', but they made this one. I think it was a great idea, though the execution was really impressive.

The story was okay type, they kept it very simple. No big developments, except two main characters. But all the four women were good, along with Chris Hemsworth as a worthy sidekick. The director whose favourite casting actress, Melissa McCarthy's fourth film with him in four years and he did his job well, but the screenplay lets the film down.

There's no major comparison with the original, because this is a reboot and obviously has similar appeal from visual to comedies. Except they talk too much science thing because of todays advanced science. The disappointments are the ghosts, the film did not give preference for them to show their atrocities. I mean the perspective was always from the women gang who fights them. Definitely a one time watchable film, for its decent graphics, performances and some good comedies.

The movie just wasn't as memorable as the original. I think Ghostbusters got so many good reviews just to shut up people who said a Ghostbusters reboot starring only women was a bad idea. Or someone is in denial that it was better than it was.
I can't even say Ghostbusters proves what Paul Feig wanted it to. Sorry but I only laughed hard during any Chris Hemsworth secretary scene. Hell, I even can say my 13 year old niece just laughed hard during his scenes. Especially when he showed a picture of the 711 logo saying that should be the Ghostbusters logo, for instance. He was perfectly stupid and that worked at least.
Kristen Wiig is just playing the dopely dry humored character she always plays. She gets slimed many times but none of those scenes are as funny as when Bill Murray got slimed once in the original. Melissa McCarthy is just a brainy version of the feisty character she always plays. Kate McKinnon is trying something different at least rather than just phoning it in. I am not too sure what she was going for but it was kind of entertaining at least. While Leslie Jones is basically just loud.
The original was full of quick sharp dialogue. Paul Feig's Ghostbusters lacks that even. Since a lot of the dialogue is the characters blabbing back and forth with dragged on conversations and jokes. Rather than the cast taking turns with funny one liners like the original cast. These ladies seem to never let up with competing on who's funnier. None of the cameos of the original stars were even too memorable either.
Paul Feig at least showed us Chris Hemsworth is funny since he got all the best lines. Feig didn't write anything too great for the women to say. Yet, they're who the movie was supposed to show off the talents of. As for the CGI, it looked like it was stolen from Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.” I think the villain might have fit in a Scooby Doo movie better as well.
When the villain makes the dude in the painting from Ghostbusters 2 look like a great villain, something is wrong. Spoiler Warning: Bill Murray as a Walter Peck like jerk who doesn't believe in ghosts is who had potential to make a good main villain. Unfortunately there wasn't enough Bill Murray.
The problem with films like Ghostbusters today is that it changes how we're used to characters being for 30 yrs. Sony especially pretty much says a lot "this is how a character is written now, deal with it." Forcing bad ideas on people will always cause controversy.
It doesn't mean anyone who didn't want this movie is sexist. Fans are just mad that it was a bad idea forced on them with even Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy telling off fans who weren't excited about a Ghostbusters reboot. Now even Leslie Jones joined in on it and called those fans disgusting trolls. Talk about clueless.
When Bridesmaids was an original film that proved women are funny, a remake of a classic trying to prove the same thing, wasn't necessary. They should have just made an original supernatural comedy for this cast.… Expand

The fact that they overuse memes and pop culture tropes helps NOT and most of the lasers looks like something from a scooby-doo movie in 2004.

The movie is also very sexist towards men and is very obviously in treating them as sex objects, this is the worst sexism I've seen in a modern movie. I don't usually care either way about these kinds of things but when it keeps being rammed down your throat throughout the movie I get annoyed.

This is easily in my top 5 worst movies. Not funny. Not entertaining. With the budget given for this I expected a watchable movie. I really can't believe I wasted my money on this. If you have yet to see this movie don't. Go rent or buy the original.

I think this movie is based on a paradigm to revolutionize tradition approach to female category. We need to challenge the ghost of modernism by postmodern facing to some categories such as freedom, democracy, male/female and so on.

Seriously, why is this movie hated more on average than the utter failure, Alice Through the Looking Glass? That is absolutely ridiculous! Nevertheless, I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
Its best noting the nasty track record of hatredSeriously, why is this movie hated more on average than the utter failure, Alice Through the Looking Glass? That is absolutely ridiculous! Nevertheless, I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
Its best noting the nasty track record of hatred for this film that started when the first trailer hit. It definitely wasn't good and this movie isn't much better than that trailer, but deserves less of the unreasonable hatred it has received.
I thought the humor was good, though it definitely needed some tweaking, and the characters, except for Chris Hemsworth's character, are good, but not great. This movie is pretty much going for goofiness, and Chris Hemsworth's character is the epitome of it. It makes me wonder whether he was intentionally developed that way to be mocked. Otherwise, he really is just a stereotype. The conflict, though developed isn't always great and falls short in a few ways.
It's not wrong to say that this movie is entertainment, but I can't say it's great. Therefore, even with some of its best efforts, It won't earn anything more than the seal of mediocrity. And if at any time, there is a golden raspberry award to the most hated movie of the year, this movie takes the cake. Again, not because it's bad, but because it had a bad reputation.… Expand

Everything negative about this movie has already been said.... not funny, annoying one-dimensional characters (Chris Hemsworth), CGI that will look dated in 5 years - pointless movie!

Its a shame they didnt make one with the original cast (Akroyd and Murray at least) as Ghostbusters but this new take on it is fine and a fun family movie all the same. It certainly deserves a better score than 2.7!! Loads of references to the previous movies and great cameo roles from the old actors. I'm actually hoping they do a sequel :)… Expand

I was one who vomited in synchrony with the crowd when it was announced that the Bridesmaid team were rebooting Ghostbusters and replacing the all male cast with an all female cast. So off the bad I had this down to be one of the worstI was one who vomited in synchrony with the crowd when it was announced that the Bridesmaid team were rebooting Ghostbusters and replacing the all male cast with an all female cast. So off the bad I had this down to be one of the worst decisions in movie making history and had already expected it to be under a 5/10 regardless. However I kind of enjoyed Bridesmaids and Spy oddly enough!
I was wrong however about Ghostbuisters. It was worse. Much worse.
I think I chuckled twice the entire movie and I think I looked away in embarrassment for the other 90 minutes (I watched it alone too). Felt like a Scooby-Doo mash up with the same humour you would expect from a kids cartoon from the 80s including all the stereotypes from a bygone era. Awful.… Expand

Firstly, I should clarify that the original Ghost Busters is one of my all time favorite movies but because I truly love the film, I can also acknowledge it's own faults. Exactly like with this new Ghostbusters. It is not good movie. It definitely could've been yet not as iconic nor groundbreaking like the original. That problem is due to the fact that Sony wanted it to make so many callbacks so that the movie could appease the fans. It is a shame that Paul Feig did not have complete creative control over this reboot because this movie could've been really good plus some possibly interesting future films in the franchise. So the nonetheless I loved it and I liked a tad more than Ghostbusters 2. It is disappointing to know that this is the only Holtzman we get in movie form.… Expand

This could have been worse but we have been denied a true sequel to Ghostbusters. This might be good for newcomers but not for real Ghostbusters fans.

After all the heat this movie got, the reviewers were too nice and PC to this junk so take about 30% off the score and you got the real quality. It's not atrocious but it's bad and forgettable. But now because this garbage you have to refer to the original as the -84 version which sucks.

Surprisingly the black woman's (Patty) most obnoxious scenes where in the trailer and she came across more tolerable than naggy voiced McCarthy (Abby). Only likable lead is Kristen Wiig's Erin though. Ironically the only chuckles came from the antics of male character Kevin, largely because of Chris Hemsworth's delivery. So the forced female angle didn't quite have the effect that they were shooting for.

Watch the original instead for a lesson how witty, subtle and brilliant comedy is done. It holds up!… Expand

La pega que le pongo es que la mitad de la peli se estanca y se hace pesado, pero luego arranca y cierra bien.

The comedy was really cringe and I didn't find any of it funny. The male characters were dumb beyond belief and only made the movie that much unpleasant. The story line if you can call it that was seriously lacking and made no sense. I feel bad for the actress that had to put up with this piss poor writing. Also Paul Feig should never be allow to make another movie because clearly he doesn't know what the general public wants and is seriously out of touch with the real world.… Expand
